Margaret and Jerry’s story
"The fear and stress was considerably reduced after just out first meeting"
My wife and I have both gone through the process of a Trust Deed and we are only waiting for the discharge to complete. What a relief!
We initially went to four debt management and insolvency companies in Scotland and sat through the painstaking process over four days. We were confronted with confusion, inexperience and no result. In particular, the threat of the loss of our family home was continually highlighted through this experience.
It is worth bearing in mind that most of the debt management companies in Scotland with high profile advertising are commission based and they are not the leading agent as they pass you to profit based insolvency companies.
Finally, we found David Tannock at WB Debtcare.
What a relief, David was the most helpful and experienced, understanding and compassionate consultant we encountered. He explained the process in a language which we could understand, he answered all our questions without referring to notes or other colleagues.
The fear and stress was considerably reduced after just our first meeting.
From that point on, and over the period of the Trust Deed, David Tannock and WB Debtcare, have given us no cause for concern through their efficiency, expertise, personal attention and courteous manner.
It would have been easy to accept the first company who made it possible for us to survive through our debt crises given the immense stress we were under, but we are so glad we continued our search. The payments and outcome suddenly became achievable following our meeting with David.
We have nothing but praise for David and the WB Debtcare team.

Ms M’s story
Ms M was in a difficult situation with debts that she was unable to offer a fitting monthly repayment on, we discussed her options sensitively and came to a decision that allowed her to erase her debt through sequestration.
Ms M had in the region of £50,000 of unsecured debts which she was able to manage until a change in employment and reduction in income. Ms M solely owned her property and had a motor vehicle worth less than £3,000 in value. After a thorough review of her financial circumstances we established that she could afford £145 per month. Under a Trust Deed it was unlikely that this payment would be accepted by her creditors.
On a Debt Arrangement Scheme it would take approximately 28.7* years to repay the debts. Ms M decided to proceed with Sequestration as it would not affect her property due to the small amount of equity or motor vehicle as it was valued less than £3,000. She will therefore repay a total of £6,960 into her Sequestration.

Mrs B’s story
Mrs B had around £39,000 of unsecured debts which she was struggling to repay through her high minimum monthly payments. We agreed on a solution that meant she would be debt free fast in just 48 months.
Mrs B had in the region of £39,000 of unsecured debts which she was struggling to repay due to the high minimum monthly repayments and with no end date in sight. The client jointly owned her property with her husband. We established that the property had negative equity and as such would not be at risk by entering into a Trust Deed or Sequestration.
Following a thorough review of her circumstances it was established that Mrs B could afford to pay £260 per month to a plan. Under a Trust Deed or Sequestration it meant that she could be debt free in 48 months. Under a Debt Arrangement Scheme she would be debt free in approximately 12.5 years*. Mrs B decided to proceed with a Trust Deed and as a result will now be debt free in 48 months. She will repay a total of £12,480 into her Trust Deed.

Mr and Mrs G’s story
Mr and Mrs G took our expert advice and came to a solution that would see them debt free as quick as possible. Here's how.
Mr & Mrs G had in the region of £28,000 of unsecured debts. They jointly owned their property and Mr G had a motor vehicle subject to finance. Once we reviewed their circumstances we established that the property had negative equity and as such was not at risk by entering into a Trust Deed or Sequestration. After a thorough review of their budget we established that they could afford to pay a payment of £400 per month towards a plan. Under a Trust Deed or Sequestration they would pay this for 48 months and be debt free at the end.
Under a Debt Arrangement Scheme the plan would last for a period of 5.8* years. Mr & Mrs G took this into consideration and decided to proceed with a Trust Deed. They wanted to be debt free as quickly as possible to enable them to turn their disposable income and attention to the repayment of their mortgage as they approached retirement. Mr & Mrs G will therefore repay a total of £19,200 into their Trust Deeds.
